What does the Bible say about what happens after death?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that believers immediately enter a state of everlasting happiness with Christ upon death.

According to Scripture, when a believer dies, their soul immediately goes home to God, entering into a state of everlasting happiness and glory. Passages such as 2 Corinthians 5:1-9 emphasize that death for a believer is not an end but a beginning—a transition into the physical reality of heaven, where they are in the presence of Christ. The assurance of eternal life and communion with God provides comfort and hope to Christians, as exemplified by Philippians 1:21-23, where Paul discusses the gain and desirability of being with Christ after death. The notion that believers 'never die' (John 11:26) reassures us that their existence continues fully in God's Kingdom.
